International Workshop on Coping with Crises in Complex Socio-Economic Systems - 2011

ETH Zurich (Switzerland), June 20 - 24, 2011

New Deadline for Abstract Submission 15. April 2011

Social systems typically feature crises, i.e. unstable and dangerous situations that are characterized by abrupt and large-scale changes. Such disruptions are very hard to predict with any precision and even harder to control. Indeed, crises often convey an impression that key decision makers have lost control and that events unfold in an unstoppable and even catastrophic way. Examples include environmental crises, the collapse of transportation systems, as well as financial and social crises such as poverty, social conflicts or wars. These and other issues will be addressed during the meeting.
